Yes, I know it’s been done. West Side Story in the early 1960’s.
But the story is timeless.
S\op what two groups yield the star crossed lovers?
I’d love to redo it the story with a fundamentalist Christian and a Homosexual Activist in the leads. Both Men. They meet outside a gay bar where there’s a protest going on and–wham! Instant chemistry, and unhappy ending.

I’ll get my coat.
